Tech industry follows well-established hybrid work models: Nasscom in response to PM Modi’s call for work from home

Nasscom, in response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Work From Home (WFH) advisory, stated that the technology industry in India continued to operate on well-established hybrid work models, with organisations calibrating work-from-home and in-office arrangements based on role requirements and customer needs.

While speaking at a public event at Secunderabad in Telangana on May 10, PM Modi urged citizens and businesses to revive work-from-home (WFH) habits and online meetings as an economic measure to help India navigate the global energy crisis triggered by the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict.

The industry apex body on Monday (May 11, 2026) said, in light of the ongoing tensions in West Asia, companies have adopted prudent energy management measures across campuses, including optimising non-essential consumption, rationalising select facility services, and enabling remote or hybrid work where operationally appropriate to reduce overall energy usage and commuting.

According to Nasscom, these measures are not new but are part of the industry’s broader approach to operational resilience and sustainability.

India’s technology sector has well-established business continuity frameworks and distributed delivery models, which enable seamless operation with flexibility when required while ensuring uninterrupted service delivery, it further said, adding that “while this remains an evolving situation, we are closely monitoring developments and remain engaged with industry stakeholders and government authorities to ensure a coordinated and responsible response.’’
